I did not rate this recipe because I did not follow the recipe exactly. I did not do the peel and seed thing as I was in a hurry, I only used English cucumbers, I did not mash up the avocado but cut it into chunks, and I used dried dill as I did not have fresh on hand. Regardless, the final dish was really good! If I were to rate it, I would certainly give it a 3.5-4 forks. The dressing was nicely sweet and sour like a pickling liquid. The smoked trout was a super addition and the best bites were with a piece of cuke, a piece of avocado and a piece of trout all together!

What a shame that this recipe has
probably been neglected for eight or
nine years because the first review
was negative! This was absolutely
delicious. The balance of sweet,
sour, salty and umami flavors was
anything but boring. I've made it
with smoked trout, smoked salmon and
without fish as a side salad (great
with regular salmon). I've never
bothered with the cucumber peel
(also used English cucumbers); I
just dice the cucumber and avocado
and make the sauce, mixing some
lemon juice with the vinegar, honey
and dill. It's especially delicious
in hot weather.

This recipe was a bit avant garde for my taste. It might be nice as a small appetizer, but I would never serve it in large portions again. The flavors compliment eachother but after a few bites I was bored.
